The Delhi Rockets doubled the Paris Wolfpack 4-2
in Southern Counties ‘A’ Division playoff action on Tuesday June 17th
in Delhi.
Paris started the game strong playing most of the opening period in the Rockets zone but could not solve the Delhi goalie. Delhi jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second period with a pair of goal mouth scramble goals that eluded past Paris keeper Carson B.. The Wolfpack tied the score with a pair of goals of their own 90 seconds apart early in the 3rd period. On the first goal, James D. outworked the Delhi defender along the boards, drove the puck to the net. While his shot attempt was unsuccessful, line mate Matt F. was waiting on the doorstep to bang in the rebound. On the second goal, Paris defenseman Nick R. stepped into a slapshot from the point that deflected off of Matt in the slot and into the net. The Rockets responded in the latter half of the period with another pair of goals from home plate to take the victory.
